Posttibia with 27–29 spines on internal and external margins of dorsal surface separately, with 8 outer and 2 inner spines on ventral surface, bearing 1 pair of dorsal apical spurs and 2 pairs of ventral apical spurs. Tegmina elongate, anterior and posterior margins nearly parallel, distinctly surpassing apices of postfemora, apices rounded. Hind wings longer than tegmina. Posterior margin of tenth abdominal tergite with a pair of generally symmetrical and long posterior processes, lamellate, narrow and thin; inner margin of subapical area with 1 spine and apical area with a notch. Cercus stout when viewed laterally; base slightly narrow, internal margin longitudinally concave, apical area slightly curved inwards, dorsal and ventral margins bearing 1 curved spine-like process respectively, dorsal process slender, elongate and slightly curved interiorly, but ventral one short, thick and slightly curved dorsad. Base of genitalia fused with subgenital plate and ventral margin with 1 pair of stout and short processes, its distal part bluntly rounded; distal half of genitalia exposed, slender, apex truncate. Coloration. Body yellowish green, dorsal surface of head brown; eyes reddish brown; antennae blackish brown. Pronotal disc with a broad longitudinal brown stripe and its outer margins blackish brown, and with a thin longitudinal light yellow stripe in the midline, medial transverse sulcus blackish brown. Tegmen light brown, and exposed area of hind wing light brown. Apex of cercus with a dorsal spine brown. Apex of genitalia brown. Spines on tibiae with apices brown. Female. Appearance is similar to male. Cercus conical, apex acute. Ovipositor nearly straight, dorsal valvulae as long as ventral ones, apices of dorsal valvulae acute and apices of ventral ones hook-shaped. Subgenital plate nearly trapezoid (deformed), basal area broad, basal margin concave. Type material. Holotype: ♂, Tongbiguan, Yingjiang, Yunnan, 8 August, 2018, coll. Peng Cui. Paratype: 1♀, Tongbiguan, Yingjiang, Yunnan, 8 August, 2018, coll. Peng Cui. Measurements(mm). Body: ♂ 15.2, ♀ 15.0; pronotum: ♂ 5.0, ♀ 4.5; postfemora: ♂ 15.0, ♀ 16.2; tegmina: ♂ 19.0, ♀ 18.6; ovipositor: 14.2. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Discussion. The new species slightly resembles Macroteratura (Macroteratura) thrinaca (Qiu & Shi, 2010) and Macroteratura (Macroteratura) megafurcula (Tinkham, 1944), but differs in the following characters: the posterior process of male tenth abdominal tergite with 1 spine on inner margin of subapical area, apical area with a notch; cercus with 1 curved spine-like process on dorsal and ventral margins on apical area respectively; base of genitalia with 1 pair of stout and short processes on ventral margin, its apex truncate. Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the subapical area of posterior process of male tenth abdominal tergite with 1 spine on inner margin. Latin “ in- ” means inner margin; Latin “ spin -” means spine.Published as part of Chen, Lixuan, Cui, Peng, Zhuo, Zhao & Chang, Yanlin, 2020, Notes on the genus Macroteratura Gorochov, 1993 (Tettigoniidae: Meconematinae Meconematini) with description of one new species from China, pp. 95-104 in Zootaxa 4857 (1) on pages 96-98, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4858.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/441161

Body: ♂ 10.5; pronotum: ♂ 3.8–4.1; tegmina: ♂ 17.0–18.1; metafemora: ♂ 10.0–10.2. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Discussion. The new species is most similar to Xiphidiopsis (Dinoxiphidiopsis) jacobsoni Gorochov, 1993, but distinguished by unpaired hind median process of tenth abdominal tergite with apex obtusely rounded; apical half of cercus divided into 2 branches, dorsal branch lamellar, and shorter than ventral one finger-like, slightly narrower, both curved interiorly; and male subgenital plate nearly rectangular. Etymology. The name of the new species is derived from the morphology of apical half of male cercus bifurcate.Published as part of Cui, Peng, Liu, Qing & Chang, Yanlin, 2020, Two new species of the genus Xiphidiopsis Redtenbacher, 1891 (Tettigoniidae Meconematinae: Meconematini) from Yunnan, China, pp. 127-132 in Zootaxa 4845 (1) on pages 127-129, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4845.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/440606

A Comparative Study of Translation of The Spyring or Lust, Cautionby Eileen Chang and Julia Lovell in View of Translator’s Subjectivity
No full textIn view of The Spyring or Lust, Caution has already become one of the modern Chinese classic novels as one of the representative works by Eileen Chang with strong influence in China to a deep degree for sketching China’s historical situation and cultural characteristics. Since its publication, it has been translated into several languages and appreciated by readers of all works of many countries. In view of the English version as a success, Eileen Chang, the author In fact, the subjectivity of the Chinese and English translators like Eileen Chang and Julia Lovell in particular, plays a pivotal role in the translation process. From an interdisciplinary perspective, a comparative analysis can be made in four aspects: the translator’s subjective consciousness and sub-consciousness, subjective creativity, intentionality and selectivity, and the choice of obedience or resistance in the translation process. Moreover, since the author is the translator in fewer cases, it is of great research value to study the comparison between the author-translator and the reader-translator, which can help culture exchange and communication and set up a sample for the channels to make works of china more adaptable to the acceptability of foreign readers while spreading Chinese literature and culture of high quality
Optical particle detection integrated in a dielectrophoretic lab-on-a-chip
No full textThe design and fabrication of a dielectrophoretic "lab-on-a-chip" device for bioparticle processing and counting is presented. The device consists of a multi-layer travelling wave dielectrophoretic electrode array for manipulating particles and/or fluids, micro channels for delivering samples, and optical fibres for counting particles and/or measuring their velocities. Single particles were detected optically using either light scattering or fluorescence emission. The technology described in this work is potentially applicable to a range of particulate diagnostic systems
